Good interview, I thought Jon got the SSS handle for different reasons

Nope -- we really did get the name out in the Panamint Valley ghost town of Ballarat. That's where the "real" SSS hails from.

I still had a better theory in mind as to the origins of the handle, guess that one's out for the more mundane explanation.

Doesn't everyone know who the real SSS was? Maybe not foreigners.......I thought the orginal guy was more famous than Jon, but maybe I am wrong!!
